AFTER WINNING in “Survivor Celebrity Edition”,
Akihiro Sato is glad to be back on primetime as one of the new characters in “Captain Barbell”. He plays Marc Torres, who becomes the Black Captain Barbell, a creation of Nero (
Christopher de Leon) and Eva (Stef Prescott) with superpowers that he’ll use for evil purposes. He’ll be joined by Daiana Meneses as Chloe Morales and
Maxene Magalona as Dalisay, a water nymph called Lady Seahorse who steals the powerful magic plate of Captain Barbell. Another new character will be played by Hero Angeles, the former ABS-CBN discovery who's now with GMA-7. With all these additions in the show, along with tot star
Jillian Ward as the cute Super Tiny, “Captain Barbell” is now in better fighting form versus its rival show in the ratings, making GMA numero uno on primetime what with “
Munting Heredera” also pulling away in the ratings.
